Every 'yard' dog has its day.
From Hartlepool to India, via Argyle. Peter Hartley never hit the heights of the Premier League like some of his youth teammates at Sunderland, however, he is etched into three clubs’ history books forever.
At his boyhood club, he was part of a double act, with James Poole, to thrill the football; world with a Hartley-Poole double for the Pools. Then three years later he popped up at the back post to score one of Argyle's most memorable goals to send the Greens to Wembley.
Then, with his career coming to a close, Pete took the leap of faith to travel to India to play the sport he loved and won the title, as captain for Jamshedpur.
If you were to talk to a fan of any of those clubs and mention the name 'Hartley' you will get a positive reaction.
This is the story of Peter Hartley.
